he hides one of my shoes behind of an armchairs when I come home, to let me know that I can't leave without him. He grabs my hand and will carry me where he wants to go, or to do what he wants to do.

Oh, handsome Axel! I smiled when I read that you hide just one of your person's shoes! What a smart guy! And you take your person's hand and lead the way to whatever you'd like to do! I'd love for you to lead me around -- I would be happy to play with you, serve you a yummy treat or whatever you would like! You are sooooo handsome, I wish I could reach through the monitor to pet you. I agree with chocolatepuppy -- you look cool riding in the sports car!

I am sending you a great big hug for your special day! Happy Dog of the Day to you, hunky wonderful Axel the GSD!

I've been Boo'd... right off the stage!

Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

Stunning Axel!

Happy Dog of the Axel! What a handsome GSD boy you are, and true to your historic, beloved breed, so smart, so loving, so loyal, so devoted to your humans!
